Was looking for a specific thread on this to post in, but none existed. I would like to discuss the upcoming nerf to shotguns.
While we don't have any specific details yet aside from a possible effective range nerf i was quite surprised to read about this.
From my experience its not so much the shotgun that is overpowered on it's own, it's when it is combined with certain class skills.
I play as a titan and i have encountered many more OHK's from the fusion rifle, which in my opinion has the same potency as the shotgun with a much larger effective range. You may say the ramp up time is what makes it balanced, but seriously it's not that long, you can cancel the charge and most classes can survive a bullet or two before the burst fires.
I have seen plenty of games go into a downward spiral with game dev's listening to the PVP community a little too much, i am aware of perfect imbalance and the longevity it can give to a game by keeping it fresh.
But with a game like destiny, and how the RNG loot currently stands, it's not so easy to replace the items you have become accustomed too and worked so hard to unlock and upgrade!

1 commentairePersonally I think shotguns should get a total paradigm shift. I've been frustrated with all the Bungie shotguns since Halo 2. They are simply too inaccurate and do too much damage per shot. Make them have a tighter spread on the pellets, which is actually useful past 5 feet, keep some damage falloff, and make the time to kill about the same as melee under 15 feet (2 shots). We should be able to engage at 30-35 feet and kill with 4 shots. That still a much slower TTK than a pulse rifle or a scout rifle, but it's not harmless. Basically a Halo 1 shotgun with less damage.

Shotguns don't kill from 15 feet. They'll do it right. Shutup.

3 commentairesThis post gave me a geat idea. Create a game where you only shoot actual nerf guns. Because if it's op you can't nerf it it's already nerf, And the argument would be deemed invalid...

5 commentairesWtf?? They're nerfing shotguns? That's -blam!-ing stupid. If you're not right in front of the person the shotgun won't do shit unless you shoot multiply times. THAT'S WHAT A SHOTGUN IS FOR, CLOSE QUARTERS COMBAT. Shotguns are fine just the way they are.

Modifié par MysticJon : 9/26/2014 7:08:12 AMI don't think the shotguns really need a nerf . What needs a nerf is the abundance of special ammo available across the maps. Supers also need a nerf . Not the supers themselves per se, just how often playwrs get them. They should not show up nearly as often in PvP as they do right now.
